caller: i am trying to get my ged but i have always had a problem with education. guest: this is a huge issue. people like john are not at the negotiation table. it is tough to consider the full range of decisions. what we find time and time again is that the education and skills component of helping unemployed workers get back into the workforce is a big obstacle. we have 40 programs on the federal level to deal with that, but based on analysis out of rutgers university, is usually people that have been able to find their own education path and get their own skills and out of these government programs have been the most successful. that is a problematic dynamic. host: lisa is next from texas on the independent line. good morning. caller: good morning. i wanted to bring up a different perspective. and i am a business owner, and what has not been discussed is the burden of unemployment insurance placed on the small business owner. i have seen the percentage doubled in the last four years. the employee does not pay for the insurance. the employer does. the gentleman

we need more jobs who are graduating with good education. hopefully that will happen over the next couple of years. if it doesn't, we are going to have to figure out what to do about it. it will be yet another problem we'll have to deal with. host: rosalee, good morning, independent line. caller: you know what, i'm still hanging on the line here -- host: sorry, we'll go to richard, broken ar roy, republican line. caller: hi guys, how are you. one thing i was wondering about, if you run out of unemployment insurance, is that counted in the survey as far as unemployment is concerned? guest: i think the answer, it's not the status of your unemployment insurance, it's the status of you, whether you're actually looking for a job or not. and there's some fuzziness about how they measure who's looking for a job. i think one of the ways they measure it is if you're unemployed and you check in with a state unemployment agency, that is one way they count you as looking for a job, but unemployed. if the government can't tell you're looking for a job, i

non-defense, education, health care, across the board getting cut? caller: it would probably only be cut for a short time. host: so, a sacrifice by letting tax rates go up? caller: right, they will start working together if they wind up going off the cliff. host: what do you think about addressing medicare spending? caller: the biggest thing the government has to do is all of the waste in everything. defense, medicare, everything. just go after it. host: is that enough to get through our deficit and debt? caller: and raise the taxes. host: all right. mike come massachusetts, note -- mike, massachusetts. go ahead. caller: i am x military. the only reason i say that is that we have spent $2 trillion on these wars over the last 10 years, which is a whole lot of money and they say they are going to review their approach to these in the future because we get so much money. as far as the entitlements go, what they should do is agree on the taxes for people making under $250,000 per year first, then come back and fix the rest of it. that would probably be t

[video clip] >> we must dust ourselves off and begin the work of remaking america. [applause] everywhere we look, there is work to be done. the state of our economy calls for action bold and swift. we will react to lay a new foundation for growth. electrical grids that bind us together. we will restore science to its rightful place and raise health care quality and lower cost. we will harness the sun and the wind to run our factories and will transform our schools and colleges to meet the demands of a new age. all of this we can do. all of this we will do. there are some who question the scale of our ambitions to suggest our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. their

much like we want universal access to education. we've got to work hard every day to make certain that it's good quality and that it's affordable. i think it is fair for us to compare ourselves to other nations. we are talking primarily about the western industrialized nations where their delivery systems are much less expensive to deliver care and whereby the measures of things like infant mortality, obesity, other factors, they have better outcomes than we do. whatever it is you are delivering as a service, education or health care, we should always try to examine are we doing it the right way and can we do it better. even if we say we don't want universal health care, if somebody gets sick, most of the time they end up in the hospital and they will get care. the cost of that care has simply shifted onto everyone else who is paying insurance. if you have health care at work, $1,100 of your premium goes to paying for uncompensated care, for people that short at the emergency room without coverage. host: on twitter -- guest: she's r
